Very Jaded

The greatest mystery of 2023 will remain how we lost to Brisbane

Lions have to be the most talented least good list going around

I think Kosi has proven multiple times that he can be trusted to go back home when needed and not lose any fitness or form. He did it when his adoptive mother died, he did it during Covid, and it sounds like he’s done it again while suspended. Because he can be trusted, I am sure the club is also happy to build in some extra “home” time for him round byes, and SA/WA games if possible. I think as a club we’ve been wonderful to him and he’s repaid that ten folds. Of course we were also wonderful to Jackson and it meant nothing, but Kosi is a very different person.

Why name Hibbo in the starting 18 then?

This has a Melbourne loss written all over it *MFCSS out*

West Coast have lost Dom Sheed to injury too. Oh boy.

Hibbo pulled up? Wow It’ll be Pickett for Brown. Petty will remain forward and I reckon Tomlinson will be sub. They will obviously not drop Rivers or Chandler and I’ll burn the joint down if JJ gets the chop.

You forgot about the other two immature imbeciles who were rating and objectifying women on Tik Tok last year.

So? I guarantee you that he would still put his nephew’s best interest ahead of his new club. Especially when the conversation regarding Kosi staying or going revolves around family and being closer to them. I don’t think leaving to another Victorian club is even on the cards.

Just so happy for him. Did his time. Never complained. Was always just so happy for his senior teammates. Improved his craft and now he’s flying. You just love to see that!

Didn’t sound like TMac will come in. I reckon they want to keep Petty forward for a bit longer.

Me too. He was one ankle injury away from winning a flag. Now he plays for West Coast.

It is possible that after 3 weeks Melksham won’t be sub again and will have a full run at Casey not to lose fitness. If we bring Pickett in for BB then we should have Tomlinson as sub.

I don't think I ever enjoyed a game of football from start to finish like I did that PF. Don't get me wrong, the Grand Final was on a different level, but of course like every other Melbourne supporter there were moments of apprehension and worry. Not the prelim. It was pure bliss.

Geelong. Never forget.

Absolutely. I can totally respect that he’d get a game at most clubs and if he’s struggling to get one at ours he has every right to explore that. He is way way too good to play VFL.

I really hate dancing on the graves of other clubs…. Except for clubs that have danced on ours in the past so

May is really good to listen to. Honest, well spoken, funny. He's great!

Maybe Grundy will feel generous and help them out… they are still paying him after all

Exactly right. You don’t tear through skin with multiple broken bones and then run out on a footy field 3 weeks later. If he plays half a season it would be some sort of literal miracle. That he has an infection now would further push back his fitness base too, as he wouldn’t be allowed to break a sweat. Woewodin with a fractured finger has a 6-8 weeks timeframe. A finger. Not an entire arm.

Maybe it’s not frightening maybe it’s about getting family involved because family is important to him. I don’t think they got Byron to read his contract. They probably got him in for a chat and to talk about how limited a time you have playing footy and how important it is to do it in a good environment like the one we are offering him. The fact that his own uncle who also happens to be a decorated footballer is advocating for our club is a wonderful position to find ourselves in. I imagine that if Jackson’s mum advocated for our club he might not be getting plastered on the back of every WA publication calling him No Action Jackson. I also imagine he’d be having chats to another uncle of his, Neville, who I’m sure would also be encouraging him to stay.

I’m just hoping his family truly have his best interests and urge him to stay. Byron obviously thinks he will be best off in Melbourne. Just needs to chat to his ex housemate to know that the grass isn’t always greener. No WA or SA club is closer to a flag than we are. So if money isn’t the issue, and family is not going to be close by no matter where you live, then success has to be the deciding factor. Also I wonder how his girlfriend fits into all this. She’s a Melbourne girl I assume.

Joel Smith has spent more time on an injury list than on a footy field. Gotta feel for him.

Nobody likes to be in rehab I am sure. But good that he is getting the KMs into his legs and keeping his fitness up.

Ohhh May's 200th could be against the Hawks if all goes well. That is a big milestone.
